This is my first look at the 2018 Donruss NASCAR cards. This is one of those Dollar General $1 packs that contains four cards but I can't say no to. Not much bang for my buck but I haven't seen these around yet. The Martin Truex Jr. Race Kings was a great pull. He was the NASCAR champion last year and I like him as a driver. He is currently third in this year's standings. The base card of Eric Jones shows more color than last year's set which is a nice change. The Mark Martin legends card isn't bad though a bit more bland. The '85 Donruss was never a favorite design of mine so the Corey Lajoie card wasn't a huge plus for me. I could probably do without those cards but I know the retro looks are a big deal in these sets. Overall a solid pack with the current circuit champ and a sold retired great. The solid base card design and nice look on the Race Kings cards are definite wins for me. I definitely see myself picking up more of these cards.
BREAKDOWN:
4 - Total Cards

I like the set. Hope to do a hobby box some day. The Race Kings are SPed
ReplyDeleteGood catch. I didn't realize those were short printed. Sweet especially for a Dollar General pull. Looking at the prices the Hobby Boxes look like they'll be affordable so I'm thinking of doing the same thing.
DeleteI don't buy racing very often (since I don't really watch the sport), but I gotta admit that Race Kings card is a nice design.
ReplyDeleteWhile the Donruss Diamond Kings have gone down hill in the baseball Donruss brand I really do like the Kings in the NASCAR set.
